Face piercings like this make a statement - especially when you sneeze. I've talked to a couple people who concentrate on face tats and piercings, and a couple of them said they did it so they would never have to work. I bet there are more who won't admit it... But, unless there is a "reason," like that, I suspect it's some form of mental illness. That is, not a tat or two, but a complete cover-up, and a hardware facial. Didn't that "Cat man" kill himself?

Without feeling the needle feels like I'm losing my purpose in life,' he said in the promo video for the the reality series Freakshow....The few times he has seen his daughter he said she was scared of him.

Well, it's good to know you've got your priorities straight there, bud. Better to be heavily pierced and have a scared daughter than stable family relations, I guess.

freetomato:I have fond memories of my handsome dad, when I was a child. I could see myself in his expressive face. If he'd looked like a monster due to injury or a birth defect, I don't doubt I'd feel the same way. This guy chose to become a monster. That little girl is kind of robbed of seeing what her daddy really looks like. If I passed him on the street I'd be cool and try not to be rude and judgemental but damn, dude, any negative attention he's pretty much asking for.

Maybe that's why she's scared? She thinks that's his natural look and she's like "Oh sh*t, I'm going to be a freak when I grow up!"

Hilarious. He has an entire hardware store stapled/screwed/drilled into his visage. But still he's wearing those unremarkable glasses in a totally conventional way, on his nose and ears. He almost looks too softcore for a crossbeam from temple to temple.
